Jorge Rafael Videla
Jorge Rafael Videla was an Argentine army general who served as the de facto President of Argentina from 1976 to 1981 during the country's 'Dirty War', a period characterized by widespread human rights abuses and state terrorism against political dissidents. His regime was marked by the systematic use of torture, forced disappearances, and the suppression of free speech, leading to the deaths and disappearances of thousands of individuals. Videla's actions have left a lasting impact on Argentine society and memory, with ongoing struggles for justice and accountability for the crimes committed during his rule.
